Roenick Breaks His Jaw

Sean Burke made 26 saves in his first game back with Philadelphia, which lost star center Jeremy Roenick to a broken jaw in a 2-1 victory Thursday night over the New York Rangers at New York.

The Flyers actually lost two centers in the third period. Roenick was struck in the face by a puck, and X-rays later showed a broken and cut jaw. Keith Primeau was injured in a collision with the Rangers’ Bobby Holik.

Roenick was hit by Ranger defenseman Boris Mironov’s shot and collapsed in a pool of blood to the left of Burke with 15:51 remaining in regulation. Roenick was motionless for several minutes before getting up and slowly leaving the ice while holding a towel to his face. He was later helped onto a stretcher.

The Flyers acquired Burke from Phoenix on Monday. Burke had a short stint with the Flyers late in the 1997-98 season.

Ottawa 3, Boston 2 -- Martin Havlat’s second goal of the game 1:23 into overtime won it at Ottawa. Havlat, who put the Senators ahead, 2-0, in the second period, beat Felix Potvin for the winner, his 19th goal this season. The Senators have two straight wins after a season-high three-game losing streak.

Boston defenseman Jiri Slegr scored with 40.4 seconds remaining in regulation and the Bruins salvaged a point despite ending a season-high six-game winning streak.

Toronto 4, Columbus 1 -- The Maple Leafs’ Gary Roberts and Darcy Tucker scored power-play goals at home, and Ed Belfour made 18 saves in his first start in almost two weeks. Belfour, who missed three games with a back injury, was rarely tested.

Curtis Joseph will be out for at least a week because of a sprained ankle, and the Detroit Red Wings put the goaltender on injured reserve.

The Red Wings recalled Marc Lamothe, who had an 18-12-5 record with Grand Rapids of the AHL.

Joseph left Wednesday’s game against San Jose after the first period. He was knocked over by the Sharks’ Jonathan Cheechoo, who tripped and fell into Joseph’s legs.
